- I have a Personal Laserwriter LS with the 512K memory they come with.
- I'm somewhat confused from some conflicting info I got when the newest
- driver came out (7.2). I heard that it allows full size printing on
- legal sized paper (if you choose "Use larger print area") without expanding
- the memory. It was also _implied_ that since the new driver it doesn't even
- help to add memory anymore.
-
- Well, my experience with the new driver is that on a reasonably complex legal
- sheet (I do a monthly newsletter), the smallest margins I can get without
- graphics just disapearing is about .4" all around, even using the larger print
- area. I'm printing from Works 3.0, which has plenty of problems, but the problem
- is even worse from Word 4.0. What I'm wondering is, will more memory even help,
- or is the new driver written so that it doesn't have to know how much
- memory is in the printer? Or is it the program instead of the driver, since
- things are clipped in Print Preview? I'd really like to use that extra space,
- and the memory only costs about $25.

- comp.sys.mac hierarchy? My local newsreaders won't allow posting.
